This CD is just a collection of software that can be found on the internet. And most of it is shareware, which means you have to pay extra to use it.

Paying ten bucks for shareware is just not worth it. I was disappointed to see that these weren't "full" programs. I would not recommend purchasing this software.

I was rather dissapointed after receiving my order for this item. After an installation onto my computer that was less than smooth (it crashed Windows), I began to navigate through the various Palm utilities. To my surprise, most of these utilities were shareware programs. To legally use any of them, it is necessary to pay a fee to the company that originally created the software. (In other words, I paid for this CD, and I'd have to pay again to use the software!) There are much better Palm utilities available-this is one to skip!

This is a CD full of "try-out" shareware applications, not the full versions! Not worth even if you PAID ME!

You just do not need this stupid cdrom even though I got it free after rebate.

It is all shareware that can be downloaded free of cost from the internet. And the rebate is still missing after 6 months.

I've been waiting on my rebate for over three months now, they delayed the payout date again until February. Little use for the software and bogus rebate. BEWARE

BTW -- this is shareware, you still have to pay AGAIN to get to use the software on this CD.

Useful for someone (1) with a slow connection, or (2) who doesn't have the time and/or inclination to chase these programs down, or (3) who'd like to have the shareware on a CD - otherwise fairly useless.

The product review does state that "the easy-to-use installation interface ALLOWS YOU TO TRY OUT these utilities, visit the developer's Web site, and view the program manual" (caps added for emphasis). Obviously, the key words being "try out". It pays to read the descriptions and reviews VERY carefully!

Basically, the utilities were pretty useless, with one or two exceptions...

it is great to have these programs because there are useful for my handspring visor platinum organizer.
